accessing out of class/scope variables in template

[Matt Zagrabelny]

Hello,

I'm running puppet 5.5 OSE.

I've got a class foo:

class foo {

    $bar = 'hi'

}

class foo::configure {

    file { '/tmp/foo.conf':

        content => template('foo/foo.conf.erb'),

    }

}

and then in the template:

<%= scope['foo::bar'] %>

but suppose I want to access an out of class variable:

<%= scope['baz::qux'] %>

That does not seem to work. Is there any way to access out of class variables in a template?

Thanks for any help!

That should work as long as `baz::qux` has been evaluated before
you evaluate this template.

Can also highly recommend switching to EPP (templates in Puppet
Language) instead of ERB (tempaltes in Ruby).

Your template would then be:

<%= $foo::bar %>

Best
